Today, I honor my blog Mommies with quotes about motherhood. If I missed you, I really do apologize. I can’t remember everyone that has kids, and I really didn’t mean to leave you out. Please forgive me.

“Have you ever been so proud of someone it made you cry?” (About Rainbow Man)
Finn
“And I hope that my influence, my guidance, and my blood, sweat and tears will shine through in the man he will become.”
Kyra
“You are young, but not as young as you were just yesterday. Today, you turn five years old and I am as in love with you now as I was all those years ago. You have given me so much… so many smiles and giggles, hugs and pride. I cannot believe how lucky I got. I am so very honored to be your mama.”

The “previous” button doesn’t work on MM’s site, so I had a hard time finding a quote from her about her children. But, as testament to her motherhood, I have quoted from her daugther’s post on her site:
“I love her to bits. We have tons of laughs when we are together. We like to eat out, play scrabble when we just stay in, and we like to tease Dad. When we shop together, I forget how much I hate to shop. She is highly intelligent and so very generous to everyone she knows.”
MsBatman
I am having trouble, because her kids are older, but I know she is a great mom.
Penelope
Damn, ladies. Some of you are hard to find quotes on, so please leave a quote in the replies, if you feel compelled. But Pelenope is an awesome mom too.
Shelli
“I am so proud of her. Generally speaking, she makes good choices and is a really good kid. She is very intelligent, talented, beautiful on the inside and outside and is very philosophical and empathetic. To say that I love her very much would be an enormous understatement. There aren’t words to describe the love a mother has for any of her children. In my vocabulary, anyway. Maybe I should make some up.”
Sue
“I love my kids. I love my daughter. I wish I was the one carrying this burden, so she wouldn’t have to.”
TSM_Oregon
Again, couldn’t find one, but I know she is an awesome mom.

I’ve been called obsessive in regards to my grandchildren. I don’t care.

I have their footprints (from their baby books), names, and dates of birth tattooed on my lower back.

She’s a great mom too. She creates a blog for her daughter, spends time with her, and loves her to death!

Don’t ask me to say anything nice about my 12 year old daughter right now. I’m struggling to be in the same house as her ;o)
All kidding aside, thanks hon, I appreciate the compliment. My kids are my sanity, my reason for getting up in the morning, and teenage angst aside, I wouldn’t have it any other way :o)
(That’s not a quote from my blog, that’s just me trying to think happy thoughts so I don’t kill 50% of my children!)

Chelle, you are such a special person. Your mother doesn’t know what she’s missed out on by being the way she is. She’s missed out on a smart, funny, intuitive, caring woman who knows how to love. I pity your mother greatly.
Here’s a quote about Motley from a recent blog post, along with her comment:
“Writing is my way of expressing myself because Lord knows, I do a really shitty job of it when I open my mouth. I don’t tell my child often enough that I love her. Yet, it’s very easy for me to rail at her and make her feel bad because she won’t take out the trash. And I know, if she wasn’t here… I would be truly alone. There is a comfort in the fact that she is typing away in IM in the next room. If I died in my bed tonight, she might not know until tomorrow morning, but at least I wouldn’t be dead in my bed for weeks with no one to find me. And I’d like to think that she would miss me the way I miss my mom and dad.”
Motley says, “Psh, we’re too alike. I don’t like meeting people for the first time, it’s awkward and I always feel like I’m gonna say the wrong thing. And I usually do. xD But you’re smarter than me, so I doubt you’d really have that problem. =] I love you momma. <3″
Here’s a quote from me to Motley in Karl’s comments: TAKE OUT THE TRASH!
I say that a lot to her. I think for Mother’s Day, she will actually do it without me asking…

I always told my boys to treat women the way you want to see your mom and sister treated. And most importantly, (Paraphrasing Alec Baldwin in the movie “Providence”) “Sex is like Chinese food.The meal ain’t over until everyone gets their cookies.”
At that point, they run from the room screaming,”UGH!!! Mom!!! GROSS!”
